• Therapy Treatment Mode Guidelines for PDPM and Medicare Part B
    Oct 8 2025

    Therapists face increased scrutiny around appropriate service delivery modes in rehab settings — particularly for concurrent, group, and co-treatment services. With reimbursement and compliance implications tied to correct usage, misapplication can result in overbilling, denials, and regulatory risk. In 2020, CMS clarified billing distinctions and accountability under PDPM, making it critical that rehab professionals know when and how to apply each mode within scope and regulation. This course provides practical, evidence-informed strategies to help therapy professionals understand, apply, and document group, concurrent, and co-treatment effectively. Participants will return to their setting equipped to ensure clinical appropriateness, enhance functional outcomes, and meet payer requirements — without sacrificing interdisciplinary collaboration or patient-centered care.

  • PT and OT Evaluation Coding Essentials
    Mar 12 2025

    On January 1, 2017 new Common Procedural Codes Terminology or CPT codes were formerly introduced for physical and occupational therapy evaluations. CPT, authored by the American Medical Association, aims to provide uniform language for health care professionals to code medical services. The goal is to streamline reporting, and to increase efficacy. The decision to modify evaluation coding came about after careful deliberation with AOTA, APTA, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, other insurers and other key stakeholders. Why is this change a huge win for PT and OT professionals? It allows us to capture the complexities of the patients you work with every day in practice. Prior to 2017 all evaluations were coded the same, regardless of the time, effort, and critical thinking skills needed by the therapist to perform the service. Now that we have coding options, how do we know which evaluation code to choose? And why does it even matter? Data is being compiled and could result in increased reimbursement in the near future. Therefore, PTs and OTs are charged with the responsibility of using critical thinking to select a code that accurately reflects the complexity of the evaluation.

    This course will discuss the dos and don’ts of complexity code selection and several reasons why it is important to choose correctly; including ethical and legal considerations. Several case examples will be provided to integrate theory into practice, as well as a Complexity Code Selection Guide. Return to the clinic ready to code confidently and accurately every time.
